About Chase
Consumer and commercial bank
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., doing business as Chase, is an American national bank headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. It is the consumer and commercial banking subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase.
The bank traces its history to The Manhattan Company, founded by Aaron Burr on 1 September 1799, and to the Chase National Bank, formed in 1877 by John Thompson and named after the former Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase.
The two banks merged in 1955 to form The Chase Manhattan Bank, which kept that name until its merger with J.P. Morgan & Co. in 2000.
Its octagon symbol, designed in 1960 by Brownjohn, Chermayeff & Geismar, remains part of the Chase logo.

Design context
Logo design & typography notes
Chermayeff & Geismar & Haviv states that the mark was inspired by a traditional Chinese coin and that the square enclosed in an octagon suggests a bank vault.
According to Chase, the sides of the octagon represent forward motion and the blank centre suggests that progress originates from the centre. In 2007 Ivan Chermayeff rejected the account that the mark depicts the wooden water pipes laid by The Manhattan Company.
